Allan Paxton suggests that “super-AI will surely inject a sorely needed mega-dose of rationalism into human affairs, since it will be unbound by (often psychotic) human bias” (Letters, 7 January). I beg to differ. Any super-AI will unavoidably have biases in the data on which it was trained built into it.
